You are out of the loop, Fog.But you think that's everyone except you and Dax based on my read.
I know. We suck.You are out of the loop, Fog.
MSC is the last rational, unbiased person left on the forum (and perhaps in the world).
The rest of us (literally anyone aside from himself, and perhaps Dax and Aphex) are “hysterical”, “gullible”, “toddlers”.
Your relaxation shows you to be an idiot.@Dax777 I think you are spot on with this "2 things can be true simultaneously true. Rioters did commit a crime and acted despicably and the left leaning media is overplaying a protest in which some people rioted"
I'm quite relaxed about Jan 6 which I thought was more idiotic than dangerous (to democracy) but I'm not American. I suppose if I were to see the same thing happening in the seat of our democracy (eg one of those Tommy Robinson rally's breaking in to the houses of parliament and going on the rampage) then I'd be a bit more upset.
I cannot speak to their sexual experiences (or lack thereof).I know. We suck.
That said, I am pretty sure two out of the three of them are virgins.
WTF is the matter with you?@Dax777 I think you are spot on with this "2 things can be true simultaneously true. Rioters did commit a crime and acted despicably and the left leaning media is overplaying a protest in which some people rioted"

The question all rational, educated, compassionate participants in this and other US political threads keep asking themselves about the likes of MSC, Dax, Aphex, and a few others.WTF is the matter with you?
They call this an "echo chamber" because nearly all disagree with them instead of thinking, "Hey, you know what? Maybe I've got it wrong." At least Mazz seems objective -- or seems that way because he doesn't really care; this is all a game.The question all rational, educated, compassionate participants in this and other US political threads keep asking themselves about the likes of MSC, Dax, Aphex, and a few others.
And perhaps that is the answer to the question.
I agree on all points apart from your assessment that MSC seems “objective”.They call this an "echo chamber" because nearly all disagree with them instead of thinking, "Hey, you know what?

Mazz periodically posts thoughtful and interesting stuff but it all seems a trap to bait others into fighting. Works too. He'd just as soon pick a side as saw off his nose with a McCulloch.I agree on all points apart from your assessment that MSC seems “objective”.
He is only “objective” in the “I’m just asking questions” sense, which is really “I am going to say things and/or asks questions about subjects that I not only know nothing about, but have no interest educating myself about, and then nonsensically belittle anyone rebuking my statements and/or ignore or rejects earnest answers to my questions”.
He has no real interest in substantive, good faith debate. He is just here to stir the pot and call people “hysterical” and “toddlers” when they call him out on that juvenile behaviour.
It’s honestly been some time since I have seen him post anything genuinely thoughtful or interesting (at least, in my estimation), but I will keep a look out.Mazz periodically posts thoughtful and interesting stuff but it all seems a trap to bait others into fighting.
